Heart of the Castle

Chapter 866 The Conversation Before the Great War

After Shacross uttered these words in a voice almost roaring, he knelt down at the feet of the projection of the Great Monarch of the Abyss in the most respectful manner, and Charlemagne, the Lord of Terror, knelt down on one knee. All abyss lords who are eligible to attend the commander's wheel palace.Deathly silence shrouded the hall of the wheel palace, only the flames burning on the bodies of a few abyssal lords made crackling noises. Although the great lord of the abyss, Amurhydras, was still silent, even the most simple-minded Berserker The demon can also see that he has been moved by Shackles' words.

"My power is too precious to be wasted." Amurhydra's voice broke the silence, echoing under the high dome of the hall, "You must make a careful and detailed plan, Shakros, Force out all the hole cards of the defenders of Taalon Fortress, and then I will destroy them all!"

"Your wish is my mission! Great Your Majesty Amur Hydras!" Shakross replied sharply. When he raised his head, two blood-colored crystals shone on his gray and white illusory face. "At dawn tomorrow, I will arrange four hundred demon priests to chant psalms calling and praising you, and at the same time activate the alchemy summoning circle in the Iron Furnace Mountains; Hours of uninterrupted attacks, even if they cannot severely damage the defenders of the fortress, can still exhaust their bodies and spirits, exposing all their weaknesses to you!"

"Very well, further refine your plan according to this purpose. Shackles, if all goes well, you will get a high position at my feet, and setbacks will doom you forever!"

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Shackles prostrated himself on the ground again, his voice full of sincerity and fanaticism. "We will do our best to create the most favorable opportunity for you. May your throne be lifted high to the sky."

"May your throne be lifted up to the sky." Charlemagne, Lord of Terror, repeated in a deep voice, and then the same words came out from more than a dozen voices of different thickness, shaking the air in the hall.

The plane projection of the Abyssal Sovereign nodded in satisfaction, and then gradually faded, disappearing into the air like mist, leaving only the reserved and arrogant declaration echoing, "Tomorrow will be a memorable day, and I will create it with my own hands. The end of that human kid and his Griffon Knights!"

Just when the plane projection of Amur Hydras returned to the Abyss Demon Realm, there was a figure standing alone beside the broken tower on the first wall of Tarlon Fortress. His hair swayed like a flame, but it couldn't shake the strong mockery and sadness in his eyes.

"Arrogance, arrogance, and stupidity. It's been nearly 300 years, Amur Hydras. Your weakness has really not changed at all. Even if you ignite the magic fire and take the most critical step, it doesn't happen when your heart is already floating. Is there a trace of calm injected into the forgetful head?" The figure murmured, and the voice floated in the air so that hardly anyone could hear it.

"Even after another 300 years, the arrogant idiot will still be the arrogant idiot, but it's just covered in a gorgeous coat because of the increase in power." The same mocking voice came from the side and rear, "Old Dish , Boy Levi plans to call a military meeting right away, but there is no way to contact you through telepathic communication. Rodriguez guessed that you went to the tavern to get drunk again and molested the little waitress there, but I guess you will appear here to remember the upcoming An old friend who passed away—surely."

Mr. Dish took one last look in the direction of the Pass, and slowly turned his white-haired head, just in time to see the stalwart body of the Burning Dragon King Darija appearing at the entrance of the ramp leading to the bottom of the city wall.

Obviously, the dilapidated city walls of the fortress after several wars may make a young knight burst into tears, but it is quite inconsistent with the aesthetic point of view of Burning Dragon King.Darija lifted the cloak with a reserved attitude, strode across the blood-stained and cracked stone steps, and came to Mr. Dish's side.

The attire of His Majesty the Dragon King has carried forward the high dragon family's penchant for gorgeous jewels to the point of rebellion. A dark red tights-wrapping a muscular and strong body-encrusted with flawless All kinds of jewels form an exquisite picture of a giant dragon soaring in the sky; a beautifully shaped high-necked cloak is draped over the shoulders, woven with countless hand-made fine gold threads, which is heavier than chain mail, even if it is swept from the extreme arctic ice sheet The coming cold wind can't make it flutter; on the head is wearing a golden crown, a gem of faith ten times larger than the standard unit is inlaid in the center of the crown, and the two sides are lined with flames, frost, tears of the king, There are more than ten kinds of precious gemstones, such as the heart of the ocean, and they are both luxurious and majestic, which is simply better than any king's crown on the mainland.

Dariga's almost blinding appearance made Mr. Dish immediately think of what he just said, and couldn't help but move his mouth, "An idiot in a gorgeous coat? Your Majesty Dariga, this sentence Please be sure to name your name, otherwise it will be misunderstood that you are laughing at yourself."

"Your tongue is almost scarier than your magic, old Dish," the Dragon King Fen Mie clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then held his hand on the crenel, and glanced in the direction of the death pass, "Our old man The friend just left? I didn't feel his power fluctuations from that direction."

"It's just a plane projection, not the real body coming." Mr. Dish explained indifferently, "But the real test is coming soon. Maybe at dawn tomorrow, I can smell the danger in the wind."

"Why not tonight?" Dariga looked suspiciously back from a distance, "Old Dish, although the abyss demons are not afraid of the day, they prefer the night. After all, the sun contains more light power. There is a certain suppression effect on creatures, but there is no such problem at night."

"Because the key to the victory of this battle is not the confrontation of ordinary soldiers, but how we can stop the abyss lord Amur Hydras who has already ignited the fire." Mr. Dish reminded in a deep voice, "Don't forget For one thing, he has stolen the power of faith from the lord of light, Flandara, for more than ten years, and his mastery of the power of light may no longer be inferior to Seraphim Restoration Robinson."

"That is to say, the power brought by the sunlight to Amur Hydras is far greater than the weakening of the demon army?" Darika's expression looked a little weird, as if he wanted to laugh, but it was difficult to really laugh. "The Great Lord of the Abyss who holds the power of light, this is really... If the gods in the sky are still there, wouldn't they all drop their jaws in shock?"

"Darkness will not hinder Amur Hydras' footsteps, but it may not help him more than light." Mr. Dish shrugged, took out the meerschaum pipe filled with tobacco leaves from his arms, and then He leaned in front of Darika, "Here, borrow a fire."

Darija stared at his red-gold eyes wide, dumbfounded, "You...Old Dish, can't you use magic to make fire yourself?"

"That's too inconvenient." Mr. Dish frowned impatiently, "Won't it be fire if you spit it out casually?"

For a moment, Darija's expression looked like he wanted to burn the meerschaum pipe into fly ash with a mouthful of dragon's breath, but the Burning Dragon King finally suppressed this impulse, snapped his fingers, and the sparks immediately Light the tobacco leaves in the meerschaum pipe, and a fragrant curl of green smoke emerges.

Mr. Dish took a deep breath of the pipe, then puffed out a smoke ring comfortably, with a satisfied expression on his face, "Tobacco is really a good thing, a pure enjoyment, especially when the mind is stiff, smoking Take a sip and you will soon forget your troubles.”

"It's a pity that the troubles won't really disappear, no matter how many smoke rings you blow out, it won't help." Darija said while finding a fairly clean stone battlement, and leaned his body on it. "Old Dish, are you so sure that Amur Hydras will fail? Although the total number of legendary powerhouses on our side has exceeded double digits, how can we count as someone who can really pose a threat to the demigod who has already ignited the divine fire?" There will be no more than four. In my opinion, with the current manpower, it will not be easy to barely resist his attack."

"There are as many as four?" Mr. Dish looked a little surprised, "Your Majesty Dariga, you must have made a mistake. How come I only have three?"

Darija frowned, he was not sure whether Mr. Dish was putting on an act, or if he had made an error in his calculations, "Sir Rodriguez, the black sun of the world, his sword skills are so fierce that I don't even want to Instead of engaging in a burying battle, is he considered a person who can pose a threat to the Abyssal Sovereign?"

"Of course." Mr. Dish nodded happily, "In the hundreds of years since the fall of the Black Prince, Rodriguez is the first legendary Scourge Knight to reappear the aura of catastrophe in the mortal world. Of course he is qualified to Amur Hydras poses a threat."

"The blazing angel Restor Robinson, the owner of the original power of light, the holder of the holy sword Golden Dawn, once gave the golden dragon king Lagrange a final fatal blow, and then killed countless dragons in battle. Ten heads...his 'Bloody Dawn' reputation is not inferior to your 'Dragon's Lament' in the hearts of the high-level giant dragons. Does he count as the second?"

"Of course." Mr. Dish narrowed his eyes, "Rest Robinson has a very pure light physique, and he has a very high degree of control over the original power of light, although he lost part of it when he merged with the heart of the castle. Strength, once fell to the legendary realm, but it has been quickly made up for, and the strength has made a further breakthrough, and now it is only a thin line away from the highest-level Angel of Dawn."

"Angel of Dawn... the strongest angel in the legend who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods. If possible, I really want to compete with him." Dariga's golden-red eyes were ignited with fierce fighting intent, and his right hand subconsciously grabbed Into the hard battlements, leaving a few deep finger marks.However, he soon came to his senses, and looked at the calm Mr. Dish with a strange look, "Then who are the third and fourth people? Old Dish, do you think I—the Fire Diamond Dragon Clan Is it enough to burn the dragon king Dalijia?"

"Of course you are qualified. Is there anyone more qualified to threaten a demigod than His Majesty Dariga who is at the peak of legend? Compared with Amur Hydras, you just haven't taken that crucial step..."

"Then is it you who are not qualified?" Darija interrupted unceremoniously, with an indescribable irony in his expression, "Dish Friedrich, the great master of alchemy, the founder of Alchemy God Realm , Lament of the Dragon, the two kingdoms have turned from prosperity to decline in your hands, the golden dragon king Lagrange, who is expected to be a god, fell under your scheme, and the four elemental demigods became the cornerstones for you to build the Alchemy God Realm... like this You, you don't count yourself as one of the people who are a threat to the Abyss Monarch?"

"Unfortunately, due to the damage of the Alchemy God Realm, my current strength is not as strong as you imagined." Mr. Dish spread his hands towards the Burning Dragon King, and said helplessly, "The body I am using now I belong to the corrupt lord Anliot, but my soul compatibility is not very high. At most, I can only display about one and a half times the strength of that guy. This strength is enough to deal with ordinary legendary battles, but compared to you But it’s not far off.”

"Is that guy Anliot one and a half times stronger?" Burning Dragon King Darija tapped his chin with his fingers, and the magic rings on his fingers shone brightly and colorfully with this action. "That's really not strong enough. Anliot's strength ranks low among the seven lords of the abyss. Even after his strength has increased by [-]%, he is no stronger than Ramsdong, the mad warrior lord who ranks in the middle."

"To make matters worse, Master Levi's heart is the heart of the castle, and the heart of the castle heart is me. If I am severely injured, although it will not cause the heart of the castle to collapse, but all those who are closely related to the heart of the castle The lives connected will be seriously injured at the same time." Mr. Dish sighed, put down his meerschaum pipe in a somewhat dispirited manner, and knocked off the embers on the battlements, "In this case, I can't even take the risk of appearing In front of the Great Sovereign of the Abyss, let alone a fierce fight with him."

"So it's just me, Sir Rodriguez, and Rist Robinson fighting side by side?" The Burning Dragon King Dariga snorted, "But you are right, other legendary powerhouses are indeed not qualified to participate in this competition." In other words, they are not qualified to resist the attack of the Abyssal Monarch head-on, at most they can only go on a guerrilla attack outside and share a small part of the pressure for us."

Mr. Dish's face became serious, and he nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, this is the first problem we will face - we must resist the attack of Amur Hydras here and push it back... I believe that by that time, those guys hidden in the dark will definitely appear and share—or snatch the fruits of victory. This is the reason why I am sure that Amur Hydras will fail, and it is also the second road we have to face pass."

"Amur Hydras, and the enemies hidden in the darkness, this kind of battle, even if you imagine it, makes your blood boil." The Burning Dragon King showed a somewhat ferocious smile. Known to be haughty, irritable, and belligerent among them, they rarely shy away from a close or even underdog fight, and take great delight in meeting a tough opponent.

Dalijia's joy is not fake, but as the king of the fire diamond dragon, he also has problems that must be considered. "Old Dish, is there any other possibility?" He suddenly raised his eyes, and the golden-red rays of light circulated endlessly in them, "I mean, you and I both know that Amur Hydras is arrogant and arrogant, He has no scruples, but there is no such thing as breaking his promise among his bad characters. Obtaining the priesthood of the Lord of Light, Flandara, is the most urgent need he wants to grasp at present, and he can delay, or even We, who stopped him, already have the qualifications to negotiate with him. If we exchange for a promise of non-interference on the condition of not interfering with him to raise the throne, there should be at least half the chance of success."

"The chances of success in the negotiation are greater than you can imagine, Your Majesty Darija. I believe that if we show our full strength and make not too excessive demands—including letting the demon army retreat to the Abyss Demon Realm, Amur Hydras will be about the same Everyone will agree." When Mr. Dish said this, he paused for a moment, and then his tone became low, "But I'm sorry, negotiation is impossible."

"Why do you say that?" Fen Mie Long Wang turned his head in confusion, "Is it because of Li Wei's excess sense of justice? Then he may be disappointed. Are the actions of the gods in the sky really so pure and flawless? At least As far as I know, in order to compete for faith, there was a fierce battle between the Lord of Light, Flandala, and the God of War, Barud, both of the camp of light."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with Master Li Wei. If the negotiation can avoid more sacrifices, I think he should not object. But based on my judgment, as the great monarch of the abyss, the dark forces have already condensed into Amur Hydras The core of all abilities, if he is allowed to successfully steal the light priesthood of the lord of light, Flandara... Only God the Father knows what will happen, maybe Amur Hydras will replace God the Father and become the omniscient and omnipotent Supreme God of this world .If it is not bigger enough, it may be that light and darkness clash violently, dragging this world into the abyss of destruction together."

After speaking in a chilling tone like a prophecy, Mr. Dish fell into silence. He was motionless, like a stone sculpture, only his hands on the crenel gradually clenched into fists, dotted with silvery white light Spills between fingers.It took a full minute before he spoke again, each word resounding, "We can't take such a risk...never take it."

"You're right, old Dish." After thinking about it for a while, the Burning Dragon King nodded in agreement, "We can't take the risk of destroying the world, it seems that the only way to stop this old friend is here... … Come to think of it, time is a wonderful thing, and we did something like this more than 200 years ago, when Amur Hydras was not standing opposite him."
