The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1071 Quick Response

The Yellild Empire is still very weak, the natural environment is harsh, and there are few exits surrounded by mountains. The empire has only two expansion directions to choose from.

Going east, or going north, but almost impossible.

If Tahaka had not fallen into civil strife, its military strength would be almost three times that of the Yellild Empire, and its land area would be more than five times.

Not to mention that further east is Palen Dexiu, which is more than twice as powerful as Tajaca. This most powerful country occupies a fertile alluvial plain near the coast. It was taken back by Palun Dexiu.

If you go north, you will be the first to bear the brunt of the city of water with superpowers, further north is the capital of strange equipment known for its magic and exquisite creations, and further north is the hometown of barbarians, Silverpine City.

Not to mention the combination of three cities, even the capital of water, the empire really can't beat it.

Even if the influence of the terrain is ignored, you can go in another direction.To the west of the empire is an aristocratic republic ruled by multiple lords, and to the south is the Scripps Holy Union composed of 20 city-states.

This is the territory of the known mortal kingdoms in the strange world. If you pull out any one, you can beat the empire. It is no exaggeration to say that the empire is the weakest of all countries, and the crisis of extinction is always hanging over your head. .

Who would have thought that thousands of years later, the territory of the empire would stretch from the east coast of Palundsh in the east to the far end of the aristocratic republic in the west. The Holy Union of Scripps was forced to reorganize, from a union to a United Kingdom, and only the magic city named Endymion was able to resist the imperial army.

The turning point of history lies in this office, to be precise, in this meeting.

As for the meeting, it didn't take too long. In just a few minutes, Owen left the office with his long sword in his arms.

He stood in front of the door, um, a little confused.

Until now, he thought it was probably a dream, which felt very unreal.

"Third Brother!"

Isaac's voice brought Owen back to his senses. He was standing in a small garden in the atrium outside the office and was waving at Owen.

Owen hesitated and walked over.

"Congratulations third brother, next time I should call you Your Majesty."

Isaac joked with a bright expression, but Owen was not in the mood. He said in a deep voice:

"Do you really not regret it? You should have been the emperor of the empire."

Isaac has all the qualities an emperor needs. Even Owen has to admit that this younger brother who always thought he could not threaten him is actually much stronger than himself.

"Of course I don't regret it."

Rarely, Isaac showed a very serious expression:

"I am a coward. I dare not take responsibility, let alone entrust the life and death of a country to me."

As the emperor said, Isaac has inherited many of his outstanding qualities, but there is only one thing, he has no ambition to inherit the emperor.

In other words, his ambition is not to rule the empire.

"Third Brother, do you still remember this place?"

Pointing to the gazebo at the foot of the small garden, Isaac said.

Owen didn't react at first, but then the dusty memory came to life with the picture.

"Remember, we used to play here when we were kids."

At that time, the first prince practiced his sword one after another outside the gazebo, while the second princess was studying by the side.

The third child, Owen, has no talent for martial arts and magic, so he can only huddle in a corner of the gazebo and flip through a book bigger than him. The fourth child sits on the edge of the stone table, happily eating pastries and sweets, She can sit all day.Fifth Isaac and sixth Pamela pestered Owen to tell him stories.

This group of princes and princesses will gather here because the emperor's office is opposite, and they can only meet their own father when the emperor, who is busy with government affairs, leaves the office.

This has been more than ten years, and Owen once forgot about it.

But now, the first prince, second princess, and fourth princess have all passed away, and everyone else is busy with their own affairs, and they are no longer as relaxed and freehand as they were when they were young.

"That's when, third brother, the adventure story you told me and Pamela let me know that my destination is not the supreme throne."

Isaac said quietly:
"Snow-covered silver mountains, dry and hot deserts, endless grasslands, dark and deep forests, and endless seas, I want to see them and see them with my own eyes. I long for every great every adventure, every heart-pounding battle, and getting back by the fire, drinking and chatting with friends."

Looking at Owen, he added:

"Third brother, although you have read a lot, you have too little knowledge."

"..."

Without such a revealing...

"Haha, I'm not burying you, third brother."

Looking at the blue sky, Isaac said:

"This world is far bigger and wider than you and I imagined."

Isaac's gaze had already left the empire, and his goal was the world, which is called the multiverse and has countless planes.

"Third brother..."

"Ok?"

"The empire will be handed over to you"

Owen closed his eyes and clenched the scabbard in his hand:

"Um……"

In 656 of the Imperial Calendar, a giant dragon struck.

This will be a well-documented stroke in the history of the empire, but for those who witnessed it in real time, this is not something to be happy about.

The Yellilde Empire responded quickly, and the country immediately implemented a curfew system, and severely punished illegal crimes that took advantage of the fire.At the same time, the state has come forward to stabilize the prices of daily necessities, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to make money from the country.

While stabilizing the situation, the empire removed 2000 defenders from Ishgard City, rushed to the location of the incident with various weapons and supplies, and mobilized the only group of magicians to try to solve this threat.

A high reward is issued to all adventurers in the empire. Anyone who is willing to participate in this "dragon slaying" operation will receive a reward of 500 gold coins, and an additional 300 gold coins will be added if it is successful.

In terms of the purchasing power of gold coins, 500 gold coins is enough for a family of three to save for a lifetime.

In the face of high rewards, the choices of the adventurers are surprisingly consistent.

slip away...

If you have your life, you have to spend your life. High bonuses are more important than your own life, because creatures like dragons are too dangerous.

However, under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Although there were only less than 100 people who responded to this call, they were all guys who were extremely confident in their skills. They might be more useful than mere stragglers.

Of course, the Phoenix Force, as an armed force specialized in dealing with monsters in the empire, also participated in this battle. However, since several of the strongest leaders of the Phoenix Force are still recovering from serious illnesses, they cannot go to help at all, so only some apprentices were selected. Participation, and because the dragon is so powerful and dangerous, even the Phoenix stream will not force it, it is all voluntary.

In the end, about 20 people were carefully selected and set off with the troops.

Fu Chongwen also participated in the name of the Phoenix Stream. He has received a lot of favor from the Phoenix Stream. Now is the time to repay his favor. Although he has already obtained the fragments, if he pats his butt and leaves at this time, no matter what others say, it is Fu Chongwen. Chongwen himself can't accept it, it's just too full of pure integrity.

After talking for a long time, where is our protagonist Lin Tianci?
According to the routine, he is of course also in the team to deal with the dragon, which is not surprising, but the reason why he will run is a bit surprising.

Lin Tianci didn't want to mess with this at first, he wanted to find out about the evil cultivator and collect the fragments of the extremely blue brilliant star more than the dragon attacking.

The latter did have some clues. Carter from the White Hands Association came to tell Lin Tianci that they found a gem with suspected fragments in the hands of a merchant, and because of the impact of the dragon attack, he was eager to sell all the goods on hand. So I can take my belongings and flee for my life.

The only problem is that the branch of the White Hands Association has no money...

Brother Lin understood as soon as he heard it, and he took out some gems and gold and handed them to Carter. Before the team to deal with the dragon set off, Carter took the fragments and handed them to Lin Tianci.

Start with a fragment.

And he would run to fight the dragon with him. It was Isaac who said that if Brother Lin was willing to help, he would offer the fragments of the two extremely blue stars in the treasure house of the palace, and he also pulled out the magic spell very quickly. contract……

So Brother Lin is here.

The place where the dragon was witnessed was about 10 days away from the imperial capital Ishgard. The main reason for the distance was that the transportation within the empire was really inconvenient.

This is not the era when all kinds of large-scale machinery are available in the later generations. Digging tunnels is extremely troublesome, and not all mountains can dig tunnels.

The result is that they have to go around on the rugged winding mountain road. If you only calculate the straight-line distance, it will actually take less than two or three days.

This is a very dangerous distance, especially for the empire.

Creatures like dragons can basically fly, and they fly super fast. If it is really aimed at the imperial capital Ishgard, I am afraid that the day the signal is sent out, the imperial capital will be burned to nothingness.

The scouts sent out continuously reported that the dragon's movements were completely erratic, turning around in the northwest direction like a walk, but the direction was still roughly towards the imperial capital.

And more specifically, what kind of dragon is that...

Scout didn't recognize it.

It's not the scout's fault, it's normal for them not to be able to recognize the type of dragon.

Not to mention that seeing dragons often means death. Everyone knows very little about them. Even Saili can't tell what kind of dragon it is from a simple description.

Because there are too many types of dragons.

Not counting the almost extinct ancient species, nor the sub-dragons that have dragon blood. As far as modern species are concerned, dragons are not as simple as five-color dragons and metal dragons. There are so many types that make people dizzy. Classification can write a book of more than one million words.The power attributes of the Qika strange world are extremely diverse, and there are countless types of dragons.

But there is no doubt that the dragon is the most powerful creature in the mortal world, and there is no one.
