Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"It would be great if I could also become a handsome and powerful dragon knight." The young soldier who patted his companion on the shoulder murmured to himself.

The companion next to him also nodded subconsciously.

Unfortunately, the two brothers' fantasy was broken by the captain passing by them in less than a minute.

Suddenly, a crisp popping sound was heard, and the captain appeared behind the two soldiers with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He was the one who was knocking the two soldiers on the head just now.

The captain heard the two soldiers chatting. He was so angry from getting up early and marching that he shouted angrily: "What kind of gossip are you talking about? You two have no money and you still want to become a dragon knight? What happened to the dragon knight?" If a piece of armor falls off, the two of you combined will not be able to pay for it with your lifetime military pay."

After the captain finished speaking, he kicked the two soldiers again and said sternly: "Hurry up and maintain the formation, stop chatting!"

Suddenly, the captain and two soldiers felt a slight vibration on the ground, and then heard a loud snoring sound, which was getting closer and closer to them.They looked up and saw that the magic vehicle carrying a Chimera was driving smoothly and slowly past the infantry.

The Chimera monster, which has been equipped with multiple forced sleep spells and injected with a large amount of sedatives, is sleeping soundly on the vehicle. The snoring sound is caused by it. The special vehicle structure prevents the Chimera from producing noise due to uneven ground. Bumping and awakening.

Even in a deep sleep, one can feel the size of the Chimera's body.It is at least 15 meters long, huge and muscular, and it exudes a chilling killing aura even when lying down.The Chimera's skin and hair are almost airtight black, exuding a strong stench and pungent breath.Its two horns are sharp and strong, and look even more sharp under the early morning sunlight.The huge wings behind it, with a jet-black rigid structure, shine brightly, like a huge devil's net that can control everything.

Whether it was the captain, the two deserting soldiers, or the soldiers of the Charles Empire marching beside them, they could all feel that this giant beast had no emotion or expression, only a vicious and ruthless ferocity.

One, two... until a full twenty magic vehicles carrying Chimeras passed by them, finally letting these soldiers of the Charles Empire who subconsciously held onto their weapons breathe a sigh of relief.

The captain glanced hard at the two chatting soldiers and pointed at the team without saying anything. The two soldiers immediately quickened their pace and followed the team.

The trainer troops responsible for controlling the Chimera need to place these sedated war beasts at the forefront of Charles's imperial army before the war begins.It is a behemoth used as a weapon of war. It exists only to destroy everything, and even the most morale warriors will feel terrified in its presence.

Once it wakes up, it will attack and destroy unscrupulously without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.Therefore, animal trainers must ensure that these behemoths that are prone to rampage are lured into the enemy's formation.

The five giant dragons flying in the sky gradually discovered the huge sleeping Chimera on the ground.

However, they all showed contempt invariably, as if to express a true and ruthless fact: in the eyes of the dragon, this Chimera was as weak and insignificant as other creatures on the ground, and not worth mentioning.

Earlier, at the forefront of the advancing Charles Empire army, General Arkady Crawford, the commander in charge of this support operation, was listening to a report from the scouts.

He was wearing a golden armor, with tall fur standing on his hood, and a touch of long dark hair beside his ears.His face was as sharp as a knife and an axe, and his thick and neat beard made him look tougher and more decisive.

At this moment, Arkady confirmed to the panting scout with a solemn expression: "Are you sure that's the golden tree? It's over Pulin City?"

"Yes, General." The scout cavalry nodded in response, "I have confirmed that there is a golden tree emitting golden light above Pulin City."

"In addition, we found a destroyed carriage on the road ahead. There were four corpses in the carriage, including three women and a child, all of whom died of stab wounds." The scout cavalry added: "There are several more bodies near the carriage. Judging from the remains of the armor, the corpse of a soldier burned by the flames should be a soldier from Gunther, a country affiliated with the Holy Empire of France."

Arkady pondered and nodded, "Can the identities of the corpses in the carriage be confirmed?"

"From the documents found in the carriage and the family crest on the corpse, it can be inferred that they are the family members of General Lu Si'en, the lord of Pulin City." The scout quickly replied, "We speculate that during the escape process, they were captured by the Gunther Kingdom. The cavalry caught up with them, and the elderly and children were killed, and the young women were sexually assaulted. However, these murderers could not escape, and they were all killed by unknown fire spells."

The scout's report made Arkady sigh slightly, "When we pass by, please send someone to collect the remains of Lu Si'en's family. The nobles should be buried in a more dignified manner, and their remains should not be left exposed. In the wilderness.”

In fact, the scout's guess was correct, but he didn't expect that Gunther's cavalry was burned to death by the dragon's breath that Aqil randomly breathed out.

General Lu Sien's wife, Mrs. Linna, was released from Pulin City by Roland as agreed. She fled the city with her family, and Yakir was responsible for escorting her in the air.

However, something happened late at night. After Yakir left the range of the golden tree, he was less interested in the carriage carrying Linna's family on the ground. It wanted to think more about how to complete the investigation mission given to it by Roland.

As a result, this interruption caused an accident to the old lady Linna and her family. The cavalry team arranged by the fat noble to send intelligence to the Charles Empire ran all the way from behind at night and encountered the carriage.

The cavalry, who were already very angry and could not arbitrarily burn, kill and loot in Pulin City, were overjoyed when they saw a noble carriage escaping on the road. Without thinking, they killed the coachman and broke into the carriage to carry out the attack. violence.

At this time, Yakir heard the sharp scream of the old woman Lina's daughter in the dark night sky and came back to his senses, but by the time it came to the ground, it was already too late.When they realized that they could not escape, the soldiers of the Gunther Kingdom killed Lu Si En's daughter and his son's wife. They were burned to death by Yakir with dragon's breath while laughing wildly.

Then Yakir flew back to Pulin City with a guilty conscience and reported the incident to Roland.

Although Roland was surprised and lamented the other party's misfortune, he did not blame Yaqir too much and waved it away to play with the young flying dragon that followed Grek.

Of course, General Arkady does not know these things, and there is no need to know.

With many soldiers gathered behind him, he looked solemn and ordered: "It is known that the enemy has captured Pulin City. We must adapt accordingly. Inform the animal trainer to drive the vehicle to the front of the team and prepare for the battle."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The reinforcements led by Arkadi finally saw the walls of Pulin City in the distance.

It was noon, but the sky was overcast, a cold wind blew by, and a piece of silvery white snowflake fell.

The phantom of the golden tree that appeared over Pulin City emitted such dazzling light that every soldier of the Charles Empire was briefly attracted to it.

This army has established a temporary camp not far outside Pulin City, and the soldiers are organizing logistics and getting ready for battle.

The horses neigh and the furnace roars.

Outside the camp of Charles's empire, twenty giant chimeras and their carriers were placed there.They were lying on their backs, asleep under the influence of magic and medicine, their bodies like hills covered with fabric.

Several animal trainers were standing beside them to watch, checking the details from time to time and preparing to ensure that there would be no surprises when waking them up.

The entire camp is huge. In the center is a high platform with various military supplies placed on it. There are also several temporary medical tents and restaurants on the side.Hundreds of tents were lined up, while drying silks and cottons fluttered in the breeze.

The scout cavalry in charge of patrol patrolled back and forth around the camp. The figure in gray leather armor rode a horse and left deep horse hoof prints in the snow.They guarded the place patiently, ready to strike at any moment.

At the far end of the camp, you can still see several craftsmen busy making new weapons and arrows.

It was clear that General Arkady was prepared for a long war.

Although he did not know how many troops the Golden Dynasty sent this time, he knew from various intelligences how powerful and terrifying the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty were individually.

Arkady was even prepared for the worst, that is, it was not only the troops of the Golden Dynasty who captured Pulin City, but also the elite legions of the Holy Empire of France.Otherwise, he couldn't figure out how Pulin City could fall so quickly with a legendary mage stationed there.

He has sent communication cavalry back to the capital to report on the battle situation, and wants to get more reinforcements.

There was a strong atmosphere of tension inside and outside the Charles Empire camp. Everyone was whispering about what happened in Pulin City and what the huge golden tree was.

"Report to the general, the results of the mages' detection of ether in the air have come out." The adjutant came to report to Arkadi, who was observing the condition of Pulin City's walls outside the tent.

Arkadi said calmly: "Let's just tell you the result."

"Yes." The adjutant said immediately after saluting: "There is nothing abnormal about the ether in the air. The golden tree above Pulin City will not affect the operations of our soldiers."

Arkadi nodded: "That's good. Pass the order and let the soldiers rest as soon as possible. The siege of Pulin City will officially begin in the afternoon."

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the two black spots flying around the golden tree in the sky above Pling City. After casting magic on his eyes to increase his vision, he saw clearly that the two black spots were actually one big and one big. Little flying dragon.

Arkady was not worried or surprised by this.Now all countries know that the Golden Dynasty has flying dragons that do not belong to Dragon Island. His Majesty Judah mentioned the flying dragon's eyes in several intelligence reports on the Golden Dynasty's military operations.

Therefore, Arkady felt that it was normal for the Golden Dynasty to send its own flying dragon, otherwise he would suspect that the other party was hiding some dirty tricks.

The only thing that slightly troubled Arkady was that there were two flying dragons he saw. However, the five dragon knights in his own camp made Arkady feel a little less anxious.

According to the intelligence collected by the Imperial Intelligence Department, although the dragon knight Stewart and his dragon partner [Wind Dragon] Alfred died at the hands of the flying dragon, the flying dragon was still injured.

Arkadi planned to instruct the five dragon knights to first find the location of the flying dragon, focus fire to destroy it first, and then quickly break into the city to destroy the enemy's defenses.Next, he will mobilize the Chimera war beasts, send them to attack the defenders on the city wall, destroy the city wall, and prepare the way for the entire team to enter the city. Finally, he will lead the entire army to break into Pulin City and start a bloody street battle with the enemy. .

It's just that he doesn't know Chengchi's situation, so he can't send out the troops with the highest combat effectiveness in his hands from the beginning.

Arkady looked back at the noise of the soldiers in the camp and sighed slightly, secretly hoping that many people would survive after the war was over.

He continued to ask the adjutant who was still waiting for him: "How are the dragon knights and their dragon partners resting in the camp?"

The adjutant reported to General Arkadi: "Lord Valerian and his team of dragon knights have just returned and have rested. In addition, the dragons have also eaten. When the general needs them to act, they Will be able to respond quickly.”

Arkady closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes flashed with light. He said in a deep voice: "Give me an order. The Second and Fifth Legions will attack Pulin City at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. All the enemy must be guarded. Use all your strength!"

"Yes!" The adjutant saluted immediately, and then hurriedly left to inform the commanders of the Second and Fifth Legions.

At this time, in a corner of the camp, five fire-attributed dragons were placed in a spacious place. They were resting and digesting the food they had just eaten.The scales on their bodies reflected the faint light of the golden tree, shining with golden and red flames.The soldiers in the distance unconsciously cast their eyes with reverence and fear at these fiery creatures.

The dragons took deep breaths, and their slightly wheezing throats made weak but powerful noises.They flap their huge wings gently, as if they can fly out in one fell swoop.The fire dragon's breath exuded scorching flames, and from time to time one or two streams of smoking air came out.

The entire site is printed with the flag of the Charles Empire and the dragon emblem of Dragon Island. A high and stable wall has been built between the dragon and the camp to prevent some excited soldiers from disturbing the rest of the dragon knights and dragons. .

While Arkadi was observing Pulin City, Roland and Greg, who was wearing a dark black dress with a golden rim on it and a lion and a golden tree, also climbed up the city wall and looked at the camp of Charles's empire together.

"Are those the enemies you want to face?" Greg leaned the golden battle ax in his hand against the city wall, looking full of momentum. "They are so weak! If the army of this country is like this, then as long as you and my king's army If we summon them all back, I can attack their capital in less than three months, including the time spent on marching."

Roland said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to? Isn't there no way to summon so many kings' troops? Unless you can get me a large amount of ether in a short time, I will only have so many troops on hand."

Greg pondered for a moment and asked: "Can you tell you what is the fastest way to obtain ether?"

"The human soul." Roland replied without thinking: "As long as someone dies where there is a golden tree, the golden tree above our heads will receive his soul and convert the memory in the soul into the purest ether. And the more powerful the person, the more ether they provide. I don’t know the principle of the golden tree converting memory into ether, but according to the answer it gave me, it does work like this.”

Greg's handsome face showed a thoughtful look, and he slowly said: "That is to say, the more people you kill within the realm of the golden tree, the more ether you can obtain, right?"

Roland was stunned and nodded: "If you insist on saying it, you can understand it this way."

Then he saw the thoughtful expression on Greg's face, and immediately realized what he was thinking, and immediately reminded him: "You must not do anything to massacre people. This is an act of fishing for the best." .”

Roland's concerns were indeed correct.At the junction, Greg was able to commit the horrific act of "repairing limbs" because his strength was too weak. When he heard that ether could be obtained quickly through massacre, he was really thinking about the success rate of this plan.

To Greg, the lives of the natives of this world were of no importance at all. He only had eyes for his followers who drifted with him from the Yatan Plateau to Nimgefu.

After hearing Roland's warning, although Greg nodded on the surface, he actually had no intention of giving up the plan in his heart, but the golden king was prepared to take a long-term approach.

Greg looked at the Charles Empire's military camp that had just been built outside Pulin City, pointed to the opposite side and asked Roland: "Roland, if you absorb all the souls of the soldiers in the camp opposite the golden tree, how much ether can you get? "

Roland looked over, estimated the number of people on the opposite side, frowned and replied: "Judging from the size of the camp, there are at least 2 people. A trained elite soldier can probably provide about 15 points of ether. Calculated at one time, it can probably Get 30W plus or minus ether.”

"30W?" Greg nodded: "That means it's enough to summon 6000 soldiers."

[Golden King] took his Golden King Axe, lifted it effortlessly in his hand, and said to Roland: "You summoned me here and got rid of the ugly appearance of 'extended limbs,' but I haven't repaid you yet. You. Then let me personally help you deal with the group of enemies who dare to invade the Golden Dynasty, and let them become nutrients for us and the Golden Dynasty."

As for the fact that Pulin City had just been occupied, he automatically and selectively forgot about it.

Afterwards, Greg walked directly towards the bottom of the city wall. The golden tree instantly felt the fighting intent of the demigod, and his body was filled with golden blessings.

Greg, who walked down the city wall, refused to follow his king's army and walked out of the gradually opened city gate alone. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if responding to his steps.

Roland was not idle on the city wall either. He gave instructions to [Storm King] Neferi Lu on the side, asking her to lead the homeless knights to prepare for the reception.At the same time, he called through the golden tree to the [Big Tree Guard] who was maintaining order in the city, asking him to lead a cavalry team composed of Knight Commander Grek to cooperate with Neferi Lu's army to support Grek who might be in danger.

Although Roland was confident in Greg's strength, he still had to be prepared for insurance.

Outside the city, Charles's light cavalry, who had been responsible for detecting the enemy's situation, discovered that the gate of Pulin City was opened.When this group of light cavalry confirmed that the person who came out of the city was not an enemy force rushing to attack their own camp, but a man in gorgeous clothes, they all showed a look of astonishment.

"Perhaps this noble is here to negotiate with General Arkady?" The captain of the light cavalry made the association from Greg's gorgeous clothes. However, he still left three team members to continue the investigation in accordance with his duties.He led the remaining two team members and hurried back to the camp, giving a comprehensive report to Arkadi on the situation they had just observed.

Arkadi also frowned: "Only one person? From the clothes you mentioned, he looks like a member of the Golden Dynasty, but this person has never been mentioned in the intelligence."

"General, what should we do?" the adjutant asked.

Arkady wears golden armor that makes sounds with his movements.He frowned: "Given the relationship between our empire and the Golden Dynasty, I think this noble may not come to peace talks out of sincerity, but wants to delay time. You lead a team of cavalry and capture that royal member. I want to question him personally to see if he has any information worth using."

"Yes, General." The adjutant responded with his head lowered and quickly walked towards his horse, holding the knight's spear in his hand.He held the knight's spear tightly in his hand, and everything seemed in order.The adjutant has long been accustomed to this phenomenon of sending people to talk to delay the war before starting the war.

Soon, Greg reached the middle area between Pulin City and the Charles Empire military camp.Logically speaking, this was the best place to send an envoy to talk before the two armies fought, but Greg did not stop. He held the golden king ax tightly in his hand and continued walking towards the military camp of the Charles Empire.

In the eyes of the light cavalry who were observing him from a distance, Greg's face showed a cruel and bloodthirsty expression, which was the madness when he was a [limb replacement].

The golden tree only eliminated his ugly 'extension', but the madness in Greg's heart has not changed for the time being, and he still needs more time to calm down and adjust.

The three remaining light cavalry immediately realized that something was wrong. They skillfully bent their bows, nocked their arrows, and turned their attention to Greg.

The arrow left the string in an instant, cut through the air, and headed straight for the [Golden King].

Greg wielded the Golden King Axe, and the golden tree blessing on his body shone menacingly.He circulated the blood power of the golden clan in his body, and the golden king ax set off a terrible cyclone.In the swirling force, the arrows originally shot at him were shattered into pieces, and the three cavalrymen who dared to attack him also turned into blood mist.

Greg's majestic aura and dazzling blessings illuminated the entire battlefield, like an awakened lion, making Arkady's adjutant and the cavalry behind him shudder.

[Golden King] has a cold face, holding the golden king ax high and facing the enemies who are watching his companions fall.The golden tree above the city shone brightly behind him, and Greg's voice roared loudly: "I am the [Golden King], you mortals, kneel down to me quickly!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I am the [Golden King], you mortals, please kneel to me quickly!"

Greg's voice crossed the snow and penetrated the clouds.Even from the deepest position in the Charles Empire military camp, one can hear the dissatisfaction of the [Golden King], or pronounce his sentence.

General Arkady, who had just walked back to the center of the camp and was about to go to the Dragon Knight's personal rest tent to issue an order, suddenly changed his face when he heard Greg's voice.

If Alkadi were allowed to use a warrior skill such as "Thousand-mile Sound Transmission" alone at this distance, he would certainly be able to achieve it easily.But seeing the confusion on the faces of the surrounding soldiers, it was obvious that they had also heard the voice, so he was a little confused about the ability of someone who could convey his voice so far away using only his own ether.

Of course, there are many such bluffing sound effect magic among mages who are good at using magic, but Arkady dare not bet on it.

Although he didn't know the strength of his enemy, if the name [Golden King] reported by others had nothing to do with the iconic representative of the Golden Dynasty [Golden Tree], then he would be too stupid.

Moreover, the scout captain had told the other party that he was walking towards his position alone, which was enough to explain a lot of problems.

Judging from the previous intelligence summary, Arkadi believes that no matter how cautious the country is when facing the Golden Dynasty, you never know what the other party is hiding and preparing to plot against you.

There was a cold light in Arkady's eyes, as if he had already sensed the coming danger.He knew that without more decisive action, thousands of soldiers would fall into ruin.

"Go find the beast tamer Natalia and order him and his men to immediately lift the magic seal of the war beast Chimera."

"Yes!"

"Herman, the commander-in-chief of the mage army! How is the completion of the magic circle to resist large-scale spell damage?"

"I'm here! Go back to the general. As long as you have another lunch, you can withstand any spell attack below the forbidden spell level of the Holy Empire of France, including but not limited to group mind control..."

When Arkady heard that Herman, the captain of the mage unit, was starting to use the old habits of mage again, he immediately stopped the latter's eloquent introduction loudly: "I'm asking now!!! What I care about is not the Holy Frans." The empire's magic attack, but the one who put his voice in our ears and ordered us to kneel down! From the time the camp was set up, I asked your mage troops to build a large defensive circle. Now the soldiers in the camp are almost finished. It’s lunch and you’re telling me that we’re only more than half done?”
